If your platform supports 2FA, differing authentication mechanisms, or really anything that can make one accounts login process different to another, splitting it into 2 steps allows you to request the user ID first, then show the appropriate auth form for the second step.
I agree you can achieve this by other means, but services may have their own reasons for doing it this way.
